We're Back!

Unfortunately, we've returned from Florida. Actually, we got back late Saturday night but I've been kind of busy since then and hadn't had a chance to post. We had a FABULOUS time in Florida and hated coming back to boring old Ohio. The weather was beautiful for the most part and who doesn't love just sitting on the beach all day long? It was exactly what I needed to re-charge and get ready for the busy few months ahead before Neptune's arrival. Here we are showing off our 26wk bellies. I think mine is bigger but Nick's not too far behind!

My feet and ankles weren't huge fans of the heat but the swelling went away at night so I wasn't too concerned. I mean, seriously, ankles are SO over-rated these days anyway, right?

Nick was so adorable on the beach too! Every time we would see a baby girl, he would ask how old I thought she was and if we could do whatever she was doing with Neptune next year in Florida. He was great with Shelley's boys and the other kids too. He really made it a priority to hang out with each of the kids and show them things or play with them on the beach. Isn't he just the cutest husband ever??? He is so eager to be a Daddy that it just melts my heart. Neptune is going to be one lucky little girl.

We seem to be making some progress on ridding Neptune of her beloved nickname. We're about 75-80% sure that we're going to go with Allison Jayne and call her Allie. I was able to get through the "L's" in the baby name book while in Florida and would still like to read the second half of the alphabet but so far, this is the winner. We'll definitely let you know when we finalize a name for our little Neptune.

Other than unpacking and trying to reorganize, we're just getting ready for several busy weeks ahead. This is what our schedule looks like for the next two months.

Aug. 23rd - Triplets 1st Birthday

Aug. 30th - OSU Football Game, replacing doors and painting Neptune's room.
Sept. 6-7th - Our 1st Anniversary Weekend, Becky's Baby Shower
Sept. 13th - Linda's B-day party weekend in Columbus
Sept. 20th - Couples wedding shower for Lindsey and Andrew

Looks like it's going to be a crazy few months. Nick is starting to stress about getting her room completed before her arrival but I'm not worried. We'll get it done and it will be perfect for her!
